Keyhole Tie Back Silhouette Bridesmaid Dresses
Choosing the best bridesmaid dress is one of the important steps in planning a wedding, and usually influences a bride's personal style. The keyhole tie back bridesmaid dress will fit the overall theme of any wedding and at the same time make bridesmaids look great. A keyhole tie back bridesmaid dress style encompasses a circle cut out of a dress as a decorative effect, usually at the front or back of the garment's neckline. [Continue reading..]
The neckline can be one of the most amazing details about the keyhole tie back bridesmaid dress. There are plenty of neckline options to choose from. One of the most popular is the halter neckline. A halter neckline features straps that wrap around the neck, leaving a more open back. This sexy design has deep armholes and almost backless style. Keyhole tie back bridesmaid dresses with halter necklines are the most favored among fashion conscious bridesmaids.
A keyhole tie back bridesmaid dress with halter neckline can have thick or thin straps ideal for both formal and casual weddings. Bridesmaids have the option for a bare halter neckline, a straight or embellished, and with embroidery or stones. Bridesmaids can opt to mimic the shape of the halter neckline with the cut of the straps to perfectly fit them.
Bridesmaids who have narrow shoulders may complement their figure elegantly with a bridesmaid dress in keyhole tie back silhouette and halter neckline with a smaller space inside the neck and wide straps. Additionally, bridesmaids can add a hint of glamor by decorating the bodice and neckline with pearls, beads and glittered details.
Keyhole Tie Back Bridesmaid Dress Fabrics
There are many available fabrics that complement a keyhole tie back silhouette. Satin is a type of weave made from several fibers including nylon, rayon or silk. The sheen level of satin depends on the way the fibers are woven together. Satin is similar in appearance with sateen which is made from cotton and not silk or manmade fibers. Satin fabrics have different styles that are popular materials for keyhole tie back bridesmaid dresses including Peau de Soie, which has a heavy weight and matte finish, ideal for draping and charmeuse which is lighter and soft to the touch.
Silk is one of the oldest known fibers in the world. Silk is a natural protein fiber produced by silk worms. The Mulberry silk has the highest quality because its threads are rounder, smoother and lighter. It has a uniform color compared with other types of silk and comes in different textures which make it an ideal fabric for both warm and cool weather weddings.
Silk is durable despite its delicate appearance, and if cared for properly, can last a long time. Bridesmaid dresses made of silk should be kept in breathable garment bags and placed in cool dark places to shield them from sunlight, humidity and heat.
Chiffon is a lightweight, soft and flowing fabric which makes it ideal for a keyhole tie back bridesmaid dress. This fabric does not cling to the body so it is great for styles with lots of draping. However, the sheer quality of chiffon may require draping in multiple layers. Muted colors, pastels and other delicate colors will be highlighted by chiffon because the fabric does not have a distinct sheen. This lightweight fabric is ideal for daytime or night weddings.
Cady fabric can provide a good structure to keyhole tie back bridesmaid dresses. This fabric is smooth and a little stretchy but can hold its shape well. Cady has minimal sheen and is ideal for casual or outdoor weddings.
A favorite in casual clothing, the jersey fabric can now be seen in bridesmaid dresses because of its stretchy quality which makes it easy to drape. The fabric is soft to touch and has a matte finish. Bridesmaids will love the way their jersey dresses follow their body movements as they walk down the aisle during the ceremony and bounce and swing as they twirl on the dance floor later during the party.
Taffeta fabric is crisp, smooth and tightly woven. This fabric has a bit of weight which allows it to hold its shape very well. Taffeta is a good fabric for keyhole tie back bridesmaid dresses because of its versatility. The level of its sheen depends on the lighting, with the material looking matte in dim or natural lighting and quite shiny in bright or studio lighting. The fabric tends to look more formal but it is versatile enough to be suitable for day or night weddings.

ToxFAQsTM for Creosote
September 2002
CAS#: Wood Creosote 8021-39-4; Coal Tar Creosote 8001-58-9; Coal Tar 8007-45-2
This fact sheet answers the most frequently asked health questions about creosote. For more information, you may call the ATSDR Information Center at 1-888-422-8737. This fact sheet is one in a series of summaries about hazardous substances and their health effects. This information is important because this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other chemicals are present.
Creosote is a mixture of many chemicals. Eating food or drinking water with high levels of creosote may cause burning in the mouth, and throat, stomach pains, severe skin irritation, convulsions, and kidney and liver problems. Creosote has been found in at least 33 of the 1,430 National Priorities List sites identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
What is creosote?
Creosote is the name used for a variety of products: wood creosote, coal tar creosote, coal tar, coal tar pitch, and coal tar pitch volatiles. These products are mixtures of many chemicals created by high-temperature treatment of beech and other woods, coal, or from the resin of the creosote bush.
Wood creosote is a colorless to yellowish greasy liquid with a smoky odor and burned taste. Coal tar creosote is a thick, oily liquid that is typically amber to black in color. Coal tar and coal tar pitch are usually thick, black, or dark-brown liquids or semisolids with a smoky odor.
Wood creosote has been used as a disinfectant, a laxative, and a cough treatment, but is rarely used these ways today. Coal tar products are used in medicines to treat skin diseases such as psoriasis, and are also used as animal and bird repellents, insecticides, restricted pesticides, animal dips, and fungicides. Coal tar creosote is the most widely used wood preservative in the United States. Coal tar, coal tar pitch, and coal tar pitch volatiles are used for roofing, road paving, aluminum smelting, and coking.
What happens to creosote when it enters the environment?
- Coal tar creosote is released to water and soil mainly as a result of its use in the wood preservation industry.
- Coal tar creosote may dissolve in water and may move through the soil to the groundwater.
- Once it is in the groundwater, it may take many years for it to break down.
- Coal tar creosote can build up in plants and animals.
- No information is available on what happens to wood creosote when it enters the environment.
How might I be exposed to creosote?
- Eating herbal remedies containing the leaves from the creosote bush (chaparral) which are sold as dietary supplements.
- Working in the wood preservative, coke-producing, or asphalt industries.
- Using creosote-treated wood in building fences, bridges, or railroad tracks, or installing telephone poles.
- Living in treated-wood houses that may result in air or skin contact with creosote.
- Drinking water contaminated by a hazardous waste site.
How can creosote affect my health?
Breathing vapors of the creosotes, coal tar, coal tar pitch, or coal tar pitch volatiles can cause irritation of the respiratory tract. Eating large amounts of creosote (any form) may cause a burning in the mouth and throat and stomach pains. Eating large amounts of herbal remedies containing creosote bush leaves may cause liver damage, while large amounts of coal tar creosote may result in severe skin irritation, eye burns, convulsions, unconsciousness, and even death.
Long-term (365 days or longer) exposure to lower levels of coal tar creosote, coal tar, coal tar pitch, or coal tar pitch volatiles by skin or air contact can cause skin damage such as blistering or peeling.
Animals fed large amounts of wood creosote had convulsions and died, while those fed lower levels had liver and kidney problems. Animal studies have shown that when pregnant animals breathe creosote, it may cause harmful effects to the baby.
How likely is creosote to cause cancer?
Long-term exposure, especially direct contact with skin during wood treatment or manufacture of coal tar creosote-treated products, to low levels of creosote has resulted in skin cancer and cancer of the scrotum. Cancer of the scrotum in chimney sweeps has been associated with long-term skin exposure to soot and coal tar creosotes. Animal studies have also shown skin cancer from skin exposure to coal tar products.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that coal tar creosote is probably carcinogenic to humans. The EPA has also determined that coal tar creosote is a probable human carcinogen.
Is there a medical test to show whether I've been exposed to creosote?
There is no medical test to determine if you have been exposed to creosote. However, some chemicals found in coal tar products can be found measured in body tissues. Urine tests are commonly done for employees in industries that work with coal tar creosote, coal tar, and coal tar pitch.
This test isn't available at most doctors' offices, but can be done at special laboratories that have the right equipment. These tests can confirm that you have been exposed to chemicals found in coal tar creosote and other coal tar products, but cannot predict whether you will experience any health effects.
Has the federal government made recommendations to protect human health?
The EPA requires that spills or accidental releases into the environment of 1pound or more of creosote be reported to the EPA.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set an exposure limit of 0.2 milligrams of coal tar pitch volatiles per cubic meter of air (0.2 mg/m3) in the workplace during an 8-hour workday, 40-hour workweek. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommends the same level for coal tar pitch volatiles. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends a maximum level of 0.1 mg/m3 of coal tar pitch volatiles for a 10-hour workday, 40-hour workweek.
Carcinogenic: Ability to cause cancer.
CAS: Chemical Abstracts Service.
Insecticide: A substance that kills insects.
Pesticide: A substance that kills pests.
Volatile: To easily change into a vapor or a gas.

Jacobs looks for second call to NY
By Justin Sheinis / Buffalo Bisons
After a four-year absence, Mike Jacobs is back to where it all began.
"Being back with the Mets is kind of like a feeling of coming home," Jacobs said.
Drafted in the 38th round of the 1999 draft by the Mets, the 29-year old spent his first seven professional seasons with the organization. He made his major league debut with the Mets in 2005, before moving on to play for the Florida Marlins and most recently, the Kansas City Royals.
Jacobs 'returned home' by signing a minor league deal with the 'Amazins this off-season with an invite to spring camp. The Mets wanted depth at first baseman, a wise notion as Daniel Murphy started the season on the disabled list.
That void was filled by Jacobs to start the year. But New York quickly turned their eyes toward red-hot prospect Ike Davis and after just two weeks, the switch was made. Davis joined New York and Jacobs was designated for assignment.
Jacobs now had the difficult decision to make: become a free agent or return to the minor leagues for the first time in over five seasons.
"This last week has kind of been tough," Jacobs stated. "[Being designated] gave me a chance to just clear my head a little bit and spend some time with the family."
After some careful thought, Jacobs accepted his assignment and joined the Bisons in Pawtucket on Sunday. He's made it clear he's excited to help the Herd win as well as prove that he is worthy of another shot at the big leagues.
Jacobs got off to a great start in his new setting, homering in his first game with the Herd.
"I think when your in the big leagues and you're wanting to do something so much, you're wanting to hit for power, drive in runs and hit home runs, that you kind of force things a bit, and put a little to much pressure on yourself and try to do to much," said Jacobs.
Playing [at Triple-A] kind of clears your mind. It eases it a little bit and let's you get back to having fun. Back to just playing baseball. Whether I'm here for a week, two weeks, a month or the whole year, I'm actually looking forward to it."
Jacobs has good reason to feel comfortable with the Mets. He thrived in his early years with the organization, even winning the Sterling Award in 2003 for the top minor league player in the system.
For the two years prior to '03, Jacobs had a familiar face work with him. Bisons manager Ken Oberkfell was at the helm for Single-A Capital City in 2001 and Single-A St. Lucie in 2002 during the slugger's time in the system.
"I've been around him a long time. He's a great guy and a great manager. He let's us go out there and play," Jacobs said.
Jacobs's meteoric rise to the majors began with a spectacular debut on August 21, 2005, Jacobs smashed a three-run pinch-hit home run in his first ever major league at-bat. He then continued to hit three more homers in his next three games, setting an all-time major league record for the most home runs by a player in the first four games of his career.
Jacobs went on to hit .310 with 11 homers and 23RBI in just 30 games with the Mets that season.
However, after the 2005 season, Jacobs was part of a trade with the Marlins that landed Carlos Delgado in New York and sent Jacobs to Florida. In three years with the fish, he hit 69 homers, including a career best 32 long balls in 141 games in 2008.
In 2009, Jacobs hit 19 home runs with the Royals. He had one, the 100th of his career, during his brief time with the Mets this season. He hopes to add to that total soon.
"Obviously I want to be in the big leagues. Right now it's not working out, but I am going to make the best of the opportunity that I have down here," declared Jacobs.
This story was not subject to the approval of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues or its clubs.

On the latest "Saturday Night Live," Tina Fey revived her Sarah Palin imitation for a sketch about a cable network built around the politician.
One of the shows: "Are You Smarter Than a Half-Term Governor?" ("I think you'll be surprised by the answer," said Palin/Fey. "I know I was.")
Other than getting a laugh at the former Republican vice presidential candidate's expense, the joke touched on a TV staple that seems, like Palin, to have a knack for reinvention – and for refusing to fade away: the old-time game show.
Plans for the latest reboot of the 1970s-1980s Dick Clark chestnut, "The $10,000 Pyramid," are in the works, with the ante upped to a $1 million, The Hollywood Reporter notes. The move follows the successful resurrection of "Let's Make a Deal," with Wayne Brady, and the brief primetime revival a couple years back of "Password," which could lead to a new daytime version, Variety reports.
The attack of the ancient games shows comes at a time when some daytime soap operas are faltering ("Let's Make a Deal" replaced the "Guiding Light," and "Pyramid" could supplant "As the World Turns"). Primetime, meanwhile, is filled with reality and competition-based shows, some with built-in soap operas ("Survivor" and "American Idol"), and others more action-driven ("Win a Million in a Minute").
While they're far from flashy, the old-school game shows are proving resilient – and show there's no one formula for success. "Let's Make a Deal" essentially comes down to playing dress-up and guessing what's in a box, while "Pyramid" and "Password" rely on verbal abilities.
Or take the two current longest-running examples, "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel of Fortune." One is a test of knowledge and speed, while the other is essentially a televised game of Hangman.
The possible return of "Pyramid" makes us wonder about other game shows worth bringing back and injecting with new blood: Imagine "Hollywood Squares" with, say, Sarah Silverman in the center square.
So we'll ask the $64 (or, factoring in inflation, the $6.4 Million) Question: which old game shows would you like to see revived? Use the comments section to give your answer (unlike "Jeopardy!", it doesn't have to be in the form of a question).

I was fortunate enough to attend the New England Regional Genealogical Consortium's conference this past week in Manchester, New Hampshire. This four-day conference turned out to be a great event with more than 1,000 attendees. That's not bad for a regional conference!
The New England Regional Genealogical Consortium's conference (affectionately known as NERGC and usually pronounced as "Nerk,") is one of my favorite conferences. It is a regional conference, primarily aimed at tracing family trees in the six New England states (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut). Admittedly, I have mostly northern New England and eastern Canada ancestry so many of the presentations are of interest to me. However, the NERGC conference always includes a lot of additional presentations about genealogy research in eastern Canada, New York, and perhaps a few other locations. The conference also includes presentations about current and even a bit of future technology, including DNA, the Internet and the cloud, the latest software, and more. Then there is the exhibits hall with numerous vendors displaying their latest products.
You can learn more the NERGC conference at: https://www.nergc.org, including a list of all this year's speakers, their bios, and a lot more.
I took a lot of pictures and thought I would share them here so that anyone who was unable to attend can get a "taste" of what the conference was all about. Taking pictures during the presentations at any conference is frowned upon so the majority of my photos were taken in the exhibits hall.
Welcome to the New England Regional Genealogical Consortium's 2019 conference!
There were Special Interest Group meetings for French-Canadian, Irish, Polish, Jewish, and many other groups.
George Findlen presented "Crossing the Border: Tracking a French-Canadian back into Québec."
There was a crowd in the Exhibits Hll most of the time but especially when doorprizes were being drawn. This shows the crowd at the MyHeritage booth waiting for a doorprize drawing.

The Québec Genealogical eSociety was formed a bit more than a year ago and is very different from most other genealogy societies. Yes, that is an "eSociety," not a Society. According to Johann Gervais (shown above on the right), the esociety has no building no physical library, and no physical meetings. Instead, the Québec Genealogical eSociety is building what will hopefully become a large online virtual library. The esociety holds all member meetings online by video conferencing and presentations are made by various genealogy experts by very popular webinars. You don't need to leave your home to be a part of this very active society! Yes, you can participate in all the Québec Genealogical eSociety's activities from anyplace in the world. Is this the future of most or even all future genealogy societies?
OurCards – Make a game from your family tree! These are custom made playing cards, similar to any other deck of 52 playing cards, only with images and brief biographies of family members. When you order these cards, you also get to choose whose picture appears on which card. For instance, your grandmother could be the Queen of Hearts. My question: "Who is assigned as the Joker?"
Forever.com has a very interesting business plan. The company promises to store your data and pictures forever! Yes, forever… even after you are deceased. The company takes your membership payment and invests it in high-quality, conservative investments. Then the company spends only the interest earned from the investments to pay for web servers and other items needed to keep your data and pictures online. No funds are ever spent to pay day-to-day operating expenses of the company. There is even a succession plan to make sure the company remains in business and online long after the company's founders are deceased. The information is securely stored in a private area that is accessible only to you and to anyone else to whom you grant access.

Wow! So from one kind of race to the next! Not going to lie, my legs are STILL very sore from this weekend. The day after the Salt Lake City Half, I was ready to tackle the Color Run 5K with Shea. I have never done anything besides a regular running race and this was going to be quite different. We both really had no idea what to expect and driving down there race morning we were reading over a few 'important reminders' and it freaked us out! How colored would we be? What really is the color? Was oiling the hair really necessary? But we were both still really excited. We had made matching tutus and were all ready to go with our white tank tops. The weather was overcast and perfect for being out 'running'.
The Color Run, Orange County, was taking place at the OC Great Park, which I have never been too. Shea was nice enough to pick up my bib while I was in Salt Lake City and I pinned on my number while we were heading down there. We parked, got our tutus on and got over to the portapotties. We got all ready and then traveled over to the start line where we also ran into Angry Julie. We hung with her and her friend Megan for the remainder of the race. We wanted to be in the first wave because we were nervous and excited. Everyone was wearing white around us and it was a cool vibe. I also think this should be called the Hipster Race, not the color run. Anyways, finally, we started!
At the start line, everyone is wearing white and the music is playing and the whole area is white balloons to signify the beginning. Each station has the color it represents on the flags surrounding it so you know what color you'll be 'getting'.
First we approached the yellow station, here is a video of what it was like going through the station. The color is actually just a powder and the volunteers just throw it on you. It tastes pretty bad, but it is all dusty and fun and you go through a big cloud of the color.
After each station we took a picture so that we could see our progress throughout the run. Here is our first photo after the yellow station.
Next it was onto the green color station! We walked a lot of the race, and my legs were sore from the half and we were just enjoying the people and talking. It was pretty fun.
Each station we went through, we switched sides so that we would get all colors covering us. That was a good idea because I think we got good normal color :). After the green station, where I got it all in my face, it was time for purple! Purple and pink were the last two colors and I think the best colors because they were both so bright so they stood out. We were looking forward to getting over to the purple and pink stations.
The purple cloud awaited us and soon we were doused with purple color! It was fun going through all the stations, and I'm pretty sure I closed my eyes and tried not to breath through them, but still, fun!
We kept getting dirtier and dirtier as the run went on! We took a group shot after purple color.
I am really glad I wore sunglasses! We were off to the pink station and the finish line was in sight.
By the end of the pink station, we were covered! I couldn't believe we had run through this stuff! It was pretty fun and by the finish line we were totally different looking than when we started!
The entire run I carried my phone in a little plastic bag and it worked out well. I still got a ton of pictures and it didn't mess up my phone at all, so I was thankful for that.
Every 15 minutes after the color run they have the color throw, which everyone gets a packet in their 'goodie bag' of color that they can throw after the race at the color throw. This was the color throw video that I took
and this was the aftermath on the ground.
SO MUCH COLOR EVERYWHERE! We stuck around at the finish for a little bit and waited for the next color throw to take place.
Finally it was time for the second color throw!
Miss Angry Julie Monday and myself! :)
It was amazing to see all the color packets go off in the air! Really a neat idea and interesting concept. At the end of the race I got a granola bar and a banana and some water.
Overall, it was really a fun, fun race. My legs were really sore and still are from the miles I put on them this weekend and I'm working on swimming a lot this week to get prepared for the Tri this weekend. I'm pretty nervous about that but I'm going to do a mini trial run on Thursday after work to see how it goes, so hopefully I don't drown in the pool!

Research Like A Librarian… For Better Grades!
So how do librarians research? What do we know that you don't?
Well, we know how to evaluate information, dissect it, analyze it, reassemble it and put it to use effectively. One way to do this is through the "Big6 Skills" – a research and problem solving process, which was developed by two educators as a way to teach information and technology skills. I learned them while getting my Masters in Library Science and they BLEW MY MIND! Suddenly researching and organizing information for a paper or essay was a breeze.
Step 1: Defining the Assignment or Project
What is it exactly your teacher wants from you? What are the requirements of the assignment? Is there anything vague you need clarified? How should you cite your sources? Before you can start the research process you need to understand what exactly you need to find out about your topic. To make sure you have it all figured it out, put the assignment in your own words and ask the teacher if you are correct. Sometimes assignments are vague. Don't be afraid to ask your teacher questions and get them to answer as specifically as possible.
There are no stupid questions in the pursuit of good grades! There should be no confusion when you go online or head off to the library about what you need to accomplish. Once you decide on your topic, put a list of questions together of what you need to find the answers to and check mark which ones will require more digging by you. In the librarian world, this would be part of a "reference interview" and the more understanding you have about what you don't know and what you need to find out, the easier your research process will be!
Step 2: Research Strategizing and Planning
Now that you understand the assignment, have chosen your topic and written down what you need to find out, you must decide how to go about finding the information you need. What books are available? Are there a lot of books available or you going to have put holds on books? What are the best library databases that will help you find the most information? What are the most useful websites (and I don't mean Wikipedia*)? This is all JUST PLANNING! No actual research yet. Make a list of all the available resources you think will be the most helpful and if you don't know or have question about available books and online databases this is a great time to ask a librarian for their assistance.
One key to good research are good keywords. If the world was perfect, the subject headings you seek would be simple and straightforward. Unfortunately, you need to think of all the possible ways you could find information on your topic. This is one of the reasons you needed to define the assignment as specifically as possible. Some subject headings need refining or tweaking to find the exact stuff you are looking for. This is a classic librarian trick of the trade. If we can't find something through a known subject heading we just start word associating until something works. As your research progresses, you can look in a good resource's record for associated subject "terms" and "headings" and these could lead to more useful sources. If you can't think of good keywords a librarian is good person to ask!
*A quick word on Wikipedia. DON'T use it as a main source. Anyone can edit a post or post information on it. It is an unreliable research source. DO use it as a background source and to find resources and citations. It can be a good place to get an overview on a topic or basic information but it is not reliable and shouldn't be treated as such.
Step 3: Location, Location, Location
Now that you have a solid list of resources to look at and ideas of how to look up the information, where is it? Are the databases online and available from home? Do you need to go the library? Which library? Which libraries have the most books on your topic on the shelf? This is where planning is key. I can't tell you how many times a student comes into a library only to find that none of the sources they need are there or that they have to go somewhere else or that they could have just as easily gotten the information at home. Next to each source on your list put the location of the source. This will help you plan just how you allot your time for research.
Location doesn't just mean where the source is located but also where the information INSIDE the source is located. In other words, the index is your friend! Very rarely are you going to find the exact book you need with the all the exact information you need inside it. Spoiler alert: you are going to have to go fishing for it. Sorry. You may find a great book about Europe during World War II but if you are just writing a report on concentration camps you don't want to read the entire book but you also don't want to leave the book on the shelf. You may find it has all the bits and pieces you need by going through the index looking up your search terms and keywords. Mark all these pages for reading later. Even if you end up not using the information in your report you can always use it as background information. Even if your teacher says you only need two books, check out everything that could be useful. More is always better.
Step 4: Exploring, Evaluating and Extracting
Okay, this is finally the moment you have been waiting for – the actual researching! You know what you need to find out thanks to Step 1, you know how to look for it thanks to Step 2 and you know where to look for it thanks to Step 3 so start reading, viewing and listening to whatever information you are gathering. I call this exploring for a reason. Oftentimes, you will be researching a topic you know nothing about – exploring unexplored territory (for you anyway) – so give yourself time to evaluate the information you are discovering as you go along. Is it the right information? Is it useful? Does it answer your questions? You may discover that the questions you were asking in Step 1 are wrong and you need to ask new ones or different ones. You may discover that another aspect of your topic is more interesting and you want to research that instead. You may discover new search terms you hadn't thought of before. Whatever the case, this is your time to explore and extract all the relevant information you need for your paper or project so think critically about the information you are finding.
As you explore you are taking notes and making notes of key ideas and passages. The method of note taking is up to you. In college, I devised a complicated system of post-its and notepads that worked for me – the point is, your system is your system – as long as it works for you, it's all good. However, what is important is that you are not copying word-for-word from a text. Do not plagiarize! Even if you think you won't get caught it is wrong. Period. You may think it's a short cut but the cons are so much greater than the pros so just don't do it. If you find a passage, in a source, that you think is worded too perfectly to ignore you have two options: 1) you can quote the passage and source with a footnote or parenthetical reference or 2) summarize the information in the passage in your own words and then integrate it into your paper that way. The choice is yours. And please make sure you cite all your sources in your bibliography. Even if you just use a book or article as background information for your paper – cite it. Your teacher should see all the sources you used/read to write your paper.
Tip: In college, I learned that my papers were better if I gave all my sources a full read-through first and then went back a second time to extract the information that was relevant. Oftentimes, I discovered I missed something during the first read. Yes, it takes longer but my paper grades definitely improved.
Step 5: Information Fusion
Fusion, a.k.a. the process of mixing or combining two or more things into a single entity. Now that it is time to write it's time to combine all those carefully taken notes into an amazing research report. This is where all your time and effort pay off. All the careful planning, reading and note taking should make this easier. Begin by organizing your notes and brainstorming about what information you will include in your paper (and where). Put checkmarks next to everything you are going to use, put a star next to the maybes. Assign each bit of information to a different section or paragraph and then organize it into an outline. An outline is not set in stone (nor is the structure of it) but it does help you organize your thoughts and what information is most important and fits best together. Once you have an outline it's time for the first draft. The first draft should be all about how the information flows together and how much you understand your topic – not so much about punctuation and grammar (that's comes later in the revision process). Remember in the beginning when I said you couldn't procrastinate with your research – you can't procrastinate with this step either. You need time to write a first draft and then to revise, revise, revise… you get the picture. The more revising you do the better your paper will be. A good tip is to have someone else (someone who is a good writer) be your editor. Behind every great writer is an even better editor. So it doesn't matter if you give your paper to a friend, parent, teacher, tutor or librarian just as long as you have a second pair of eyes read it. In high school, my mother was my editor. She slashed and burned everything I wrote but I became a better writer because of it and you will too!
Tip: Remember when you are writing this paper you are not just regurgitating information or just summarizing the ideas you found. If that was the case, a monkey could do it. No, this is about you thinking critically about the information you found, coming up with many of your own ideas and presenting the information you found in your own way. The facts are the facts but the ideas should be mainly be your own.
Reminder: Bibliographies are important. A bibliography and citing your sources is the only way your teacher will know what resources you used and read. Make sure they are presented as requested by your teacher. Teachers and college professors often have a preference for how a source is cited (usually MLA or APA) so please make sure that you are citing a source correctly – this is something you should get confirmed during Step 1. You are lucky that you live in the 21st century, most online resources come with the correct citation structure or there are websites devoted to the subject (see below).
Step 6: Assessment
This is your chance to step back and evaluate your paper and your research process. How does your paper look? Does it fulfill the assignment? Does it answer the questions you laid out in Step 1? How was it finding sources? Which ones worked best? Were you able to find books on your topic easily? Is the paper more than just a summary of other people's ideas? Do you provide some of your ideas and conclusions? Is it presented correctly with the right type of citations? Did you plan well and give yourself enough time for the entire process? What will you do differently for your next research assignment?
Each assignment and research project that you do allows you to refine your own research process so that the next time is even easier for you. You may spend 5 minutes on this step or 60, that is up to you but do spend some time thinking critically about it. A librarian will evaluate their process each time they answer a reference question especially if it is a complicated one. Did we use the right database, the right key words? Was the book we found useful? How could we have been more successful in helping a patron? Always think about what you have done, what you have accomplished and how you could have done better.
So that's it. All the "Big6 Skills" steps. Are you thinking about information and research differently yet? Work through these skills and steps for your next research project and I guarantee you will.
Oh, there's one last unofficial step: BE PROUD OF YOURSELF! A research paper or project is no easy task and you should feel proud that you did it!

Surfing And Cycling With Stage 4 Lung Cancer
Physicians at the University of Colorado Hospital are finding startling success with medications that are made to match the genes of a particular lung cancer. The new strategy means the drugs work only on certain patients – but they can work really well.
Researchers think the cancer-fighting drugs may tamp the disease for a few years, and then the cancers may mutate and find a way around the medication. But years of healthy living is fantastic for people who've been diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer, which has a five-year survival rate of less than 3 percent.
Dr. Ross Camidge of UCH says patient Andy Bonnett is a prime example of what one of this new strategy of "personalized medicine" can do.
Two years ago Bonnett was one of those Stage 4 lung cancer patients. He was, said Camidge, "a young man who had never smoked, led a very healthy life, developed increasing shortness of breath and pain, and was diagnosed with lung cancer in his mid-30s."
In treatment, Bonnett was suffering through chemotherapy, so sick and in pain that he did little beyond eat, drink and sleep.
"The chemo was so rough, when I would blink my eyes, the corners of my eyelids would tear," he said. "That's when I stopped chemo."
He was trying alternative medicine when a friend of a friend told him about a then-clinical trial for cancer patients at UCH. Bonnett had to clear his body of all other medications before starting the trial; that period of time proved to be so tough, he was hospitalized.
"I didn't think I'd make it out of the hospital," he said. The tumors were pressing on my heart, it was really painful all the time."
UCH conducted genetic tests to see if Bonnett's cancer had a malfunctioning
"We put him on this treatment [on a] Friday and asked him to email me," said Camidge, who heads the thoracic oncology department at the hospital. "By Sunday, he stopped painkillers. And by Monday, he went hiking."
"That was two years ago, and he's still giving me a lot of cheek and doing very well," said the Oxford-educated Camidge.
Bonnett, now 36, seems determined to push the limits of his restored health. "I can run without nausea and throwing up, ride a mountain bike, snowboard, ski, hike, pretty much anything that I used to do, and sometimes more," he said.
Recently, he surfed for his first time on the Outer Banks of North Carolina with First Descents, a Colorado-based program for cancer fighters and survivors. "It was the most powerful experience I ever had," Bonnett said. It wasn't just getting hooked on surfing – it was bonding with new friends who've had exactly the same experience of fighting for their lives.
UCH, in Aurora, moved in this new direction of cancer treatment when several lines of research dovetailed. UCH was doing clinical trials on the new drug, Crizotinib. Then the journal Nature reported that in some lung cancers, the cancerous cells grew uncontrollably due to a gene mutation called
UCH found a way to test its patients' tumors for that mutation. Soon, Camidge and his colleagues saw that the five percent of lung cancer patients who had that
So UCH changed the way it treats lung cancer.
Traditionally, physicians had to guess which of many cancer treatments to try on a patient. Now, UCH recommends testing all lung cancers tissues at the molecular level, so each patient can be targeted with the medication that will work best on his or her particular cancer.
But this wasn't just a successful new drug. This line of research opened a window of understanding. Lung cancer is actually a number of diseases. And that is why some medications and chemotherapy worked on one patient and not on another.
UCH now is the leader and only Colorado member of the Lung Cancer Mutation Consortium, a national network of 14 research centers determining which medications work on which subtypes of lung cancer, said UCH spokesman Dan Weaver. In addition, other research centers are trying genetic testing on melanoma and colon cancer.
The downside to this progress? Crizotinib costs $115,000 a year. Manufacturer Pfizer does have special programs to help patients afford the medication, which is now approved and sold under the brand name Xalkori.
Bonnett continues to down six Crizotinib pills daily. For two and a half years, he has been tumor-free. "This targeted treatment has been absolutely phenomenal. I almost forget that I have cancer a lot of the time, and that blows me away."
Recently, however, Bonnett started showing signs that his cancer is mutating, and developing resistance to Crizotinib.
His doctor was not surprised.
"Over time, evolution takes place, and it will find a way around whatever block we place," Camidge said. "Then we have to re-biopsy, re-test and if possible, change the treatment to keep up with it."
Bonnett will soon start that process, with a biopsy, a molecular examination of the tumor, and a new drug that also targets the
"It's a constant war with cancer. As it adapts, we have to adapt with it," Camidge said. "The cancers, we are starting to find out, are as different as the individuals that are harboring them."

The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® series continues by remembering a first in Tennessee State football history.
In 1982, the TSU Tigers met the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats on the gridiron for the first time in school history.
The contest was played in front of 10,200 people at Hale Stadium, and the Tigers came into the game riding a six-game unbeaten streak. It was also an unseasonably cool night in Nashville with the thermostat reading 45 degrees- a temperature not likely felt in Bethune-Cookman's home of Daytona, Fla.
The Wildcats could point to any of those factors as to why TSU won the game 41-11, but either would be a bad excuse. The Tigers dominated the Wildcats in their first meeting from start to finish. It was the first of a five-game winning streak for TSU in the series.
Both teams felt each other out to start the game, and neither scored a point in the opening quarter.
The scoring finally got under way in the second period, and the game seemed destined to be a shoot-out. Second-year quarterback Kenneth Biggles hit wide receiver Golden Tate with a four-yard strike, and kicker Carlos Jones converted one of his five PATs on the night.
With score at 7-0 in TSU's favor, the Wilcats answered the opening score with a 29-yard field goal to cut the lead to four.
Not to be outdone, Biggles threw his second touchdown of the night, hitting All-American wide receiver Mike Jones with an electrifying 56-yard pass. The score gave the Tigers a 14-3 going into halftime.
After a scoreless third frame, Biggles came out strong in the fourth and threw two scores to Jones and Herman Hunter from 21 and 22 yards out, respectively.
Biggles finished the game 14-22 for 277 yards and four touchdowns. Most of his passes were to Jones who caught four for 97 yards and two touchdowns.
Up by over 20 points, TSU head coach John Merritt inserted All-American quarterback Brian Ransom into the game for the first time all season. TSU didn't let up after getting the big lead as Ransom threw a 44-yard bomb to Tate for a 44-yard touchdown.
Tate's final numbers in the game were four catches for 118 yards and two scores.
Later in the quarter, backup running back Mickey Avery ran the ball off of the right end for a 75-yard gain, and then scored two plays later to give TSU an even more commanding lead at 41-3.
Bethune-Cookman finally scored a touchdown within the last three minutes of the game, but TSU moved to 6-0-1 with the 30-point victory.
TSU would finish the season 9-0-1 and a Black College National Championship.
The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® highlights some of the greatest moments in honor of Tennessee State's centennial celebration. A new moment will be released each weekday for a total of 100. These moments were chosen by the TSU 100 Moments committee, which consists of alums from various departments. TSU has so many great moments, not all can be represented in these 100.

The truth is out. We finally know why teens love to wear Uggs. The sheep skin boots look great with skinny jeans (and pajama bottoms), and they offer a place to hide cell phones in class, according to the Daily Mail. At least that's what a middle school in Pennsylvania discovered.
Pottsdam Middle School has a strict cell phone policy. Kids can keep a phone in their locker and use it at lunch but they're forbidden from using their mobiles in class. Teachers noticed students were getting around the rule by stuffing their cell phones into their Ugg Boots, according to the Pottstown Mercury. Kids were sliding their fingers into the boots and sending text messages.
Principal Gail Cooper put a stop to this by banning "open top outdoor boots" in class. Students can wear the boots to school but they must change into different shoes before entering class. Tight-fitting lace-up boots are still allowed.
Both students and parents are annoyed by the new rule, and they expressed their frustration on the Mercury's Facebook page.
Amie Campbell wrote on the wall: "Simply Ridiculous!!!!…Pottstown took away individuality with its uniforms, now they wanna dictate what shoes can be worn. Don't punish all [because] a few are idiots…"
Amy Myers shared: "Uggs have nothing to do with anything. If the kids wanna have their phones — they're gonna have their phones. There isn't [anything] the school district's uniform policies can do."
Because girls more commonly sport Uggs, some parents also feel that the new dress code rule unfairly targets female students.
Was a boot ban the best way for the school to deal with the cell phone problem?

From my dear friend Mike Fox in London comes this on Damon Runyon:
"Raymond Onion"
I was about ten or eleven-years-old when I read my first book by Damon Runyon. It was called Johnny One-Eye. I've only just learned that it was a short-story first published in Colliers Magazine in 1941. The book that I read in the late Forties, titled Johnny One-Eye, was a one-inch thick hard-cover in black rexine, and I have always thought it was complete novel. However, the facts being the facts, it must have been a compilation of Runyon's work.
Normally, at that time of my life, I rarely read books. I blame my school for that: stuffing young kids' heads full of Shakespeare, George Eliot, and the Brontës. Whenever I tried a book, I put it aside after a few boring chapters, thinking that I just didn't like books (rather than comics and magazines). I was yet to realise that, simply, I hadn't yet read anything of personal interest to me written in everyday language that I could understand.
Johnny One-Eye, I remember, had sat on my bedroom mantelpiece over the fireplace for many months. It was my mother's book, taken out from Boots the Chemists Lending Library at probably sixpence (5c) per week. Obviously, being above such things, my mother never bothered to return it. Again, I seem to remember, I may have had a dose of the 'flu at the time, enough to keep me in bed for a day or two, and it was then most likely that I reached for the book and read it – and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I can honestly say that it was Johnny One-Eye, and later, Tomboy, a junk paperback about New York City street gangs (then controversial but of some note as a 'first' today), that my older sister had just finished, which set me to reading to the extent that reading is something I'm almost addicted to today. I became a dedicated reader as a young teenager.
Last week, on researching Johnny One-Eye, I found that more than a few of its present day book reviewers are disseminating an error in describing its plot. They state that Johnny One-Eye was a dog, when in fact it (he) was a kitten. They have mistakenly taken as their source the eponymous 1950 Pat O'Brien film, whose producers made the change from cat to dog for reasons known only to them and Damon Runyon, who was duly screen-credited for Story.
For me, the remarkable thing about Runyon was that his all-American characters pretty much described my father, his friends, and cohorts from the large community of Jewish spielers in the East End of London, where my father was born. A course bookmaker, my dad would take me along to visit his friends on the other side of town on occasional Sundays, to watch him and them all sitting round a blanket-covered table, drinking whisky and smoking havanas, playing rummy for money with a double-deck of cards. Better than that, my dad would take me for lunch at any one of a dozen fine kosher delis and restaurants where I wolfed down dishes of lockshen soup, plates of salt-beef and latkes, chrane, pickled cucumbers and rye bread – and we'd carry home cholas and hot beigels and the greatest cheese-cake I've ever tasted in my life. (Note: British Jews say 'byegul' unlike the American 'baygul'. Why? I couldn't tell you. Similarly: shmairil and schlemiel; shmock and schmuk; salt-beef and corned beef; smoked salmon and lox.)
So, I actually knew Harry the Horse, Benny the Blond Jew, Nicely-Nicely Johnson, the Lemon Drop Kid, et al, long before I introduced myself to Runyon.
Why I loved Runyon on my first reading was much more about his language, his scrupulous use of the present tense, and his characters rather than his plots. In fact I didn't care for his 'normally' written work about non-Broadway subjects much at all. But I'm sure that if I read them now, as an adult, I'd like them; probably very much. Sadly, I learned not too long ago that Runyon was a noted anti-Semite. I'm sure that was a hard thing to be in a Jewish town like New York peopled by characters he wrote about that were almost certainly and mainly Jewish. How could they not be? Never mind all that, I love Runyon and his Broadway, and like The Pat Hobby Stories, I go back to them again and again when I feel enough time has passed for me to enjoy them anew.
So, to answer your question: with Runyon (and Pat Hobby) I have no favourites. The whole of them, taken together, is my favourite, just like my kids.

PS: A poignant little story about my pre-teen reading.
When I was about nine-years-old I somehow came into possession of a Bugs Bunny comic. This was rare because in the immediate post-war period Britain was pretty much bankrupt and anything imported was severely restricted to the necessities. Every dollar was needed to pay our huge war-debt to the United States. I loved Warner Bros. cartoons because they were the very best, and because they had Mel Blanc. At the end of the Bugs Bunny comic was a little ad offering a year's subscription for a dollar (if I remember right). Now, it happens I actually had a US dollar coin that a very kind Canadian serviceman lodging in one of our flats had given me. So I cut out the ad, filled in my address, dropped in the dollar coin and posted it off to an address in Poughkeepsie (I've never forgotten the name). Sure enough, weeks later, a copy of Bugs Bunny dropped through our letter-box and continued doing so for one year. Only as an adult did I realise what a very kind gesture this was. The air mail costs must have eaten up any profit to the publishers after just a couple of weeks. I find that very, very touching, and now you know why I love America.

Below is an article printed in the London Daily Mail this week, it's always nice to reflect on Linda, i don't care what anyone says but in my entire life she was one of the most impressive people I've ever met, but it wasn't because of an in your face presence, it was totally the opposite. I've been lucky enough to meet a heap of famous people so my impressions of Linda aren't just me being blinded by meeting a 'celebrity' in the article the author states the following .. "Although not conventionally glamorous, her face seeped a distant beauty and serenity, which somehow eluded the camera." how true, I've never been able to fully explain it but when you were around Linda she exuded this 'vibe', an aura that was just so lovely and tangible, a real and true kindness shone through and that's without even mentioning the outward kindness i saw her display over and over and in no way was it for show.
I remember one day in Sydney when Linda arrived for a sound check there was a little boy called Dylan standing their with his mum and dad, Linda spotted him and made her way over to him stooping down so she wasn't really standing over him and started a conversation with him, his mum and dad explained that he was veggie and it was his choice and he talked away to her and Linda listened and chatted back. I have a distinct memory of later on in the afternoon Brian Riddle Paul's security guy coming out the back and walking over to this boy with an arm full of stuff, vege cook book, one of Linda's photo books all inscribed and autographed by Linda and Paul. You couldn't help but be won over by this kind 'vibe' .. the aura i keep mentioning.
My dear sweet darling friend Joanna who went around Australia with me and two other friends wont mind me telling this story I'm sure, when Joanna started out on the tour with us Jo had maybe a little bit of an ambivalent feeling towards Linda, she didn't dislike her but she wasn't as warm towards seeing Linda as we were. Jo will confirm this but i can pretty much say that within minutes, if not seconds of her being 'Linda-zapped' after her first encounter with Linda Jo fell in love with this amazing woman just as we had done, i think it would be fair to say that if anyone so much as made a snide comment about Linda after this Jo would have glassed them, such was the power of the beauty Linda radiated.
One final thing while I'm rambling, i always have been and always will be first and foremost a McCartney fan, no apologise from me .. that's how it is. When the McCartney's came to Australia in 1993 and i decided to follow the tour through Australia and New Zealand i had a realisation just before the tour started 'I've spent all this money, invested all this time and emotion into the McCartney's .. what if they don't live up to my expectations!!??' i had always loved Linda, always been a fan i knew from the word go she was special, i knew she didnt care what others thought about her, her musical talent, her fashion, her style etc etc, she didnt care she was there to have fun, and thats what it's all about, it's not brain surgery, so it was a pretty valid and real concern to have, you spend years dreaming of this moment. Let me say that it payed off one hundred fold especially with Linda, meeting her taught me so much, more about myself and those around me than anything else, actually it was an invaluable investment.
The one TRUE Lady Macca
She fought like a tiger for her family's privacy. She didn't give a damn about money. And she ALWAYS put Paul first.
In a heartfelt tribute, one of Linda's longest standing friends reveals why Heather will never measure up to her
Bleary-eyed and dishevelled, his pig-tailed, pink-clad daughter in his arms, Paul McCartney cut a crushedlooking figure in London this week as he and three-year-old Beatrice waved her mother goodbye, before heading off to snatch a little quality time alone.
To claim that Heather Mills and the estranged Beatle have called a truce after months of wretched rivalry might be pushing it.
Truces in divorce are usually little more than cosmetic.
Of course, it was never meant to be like this. At 64 — the age at which, as Sir Paul wrote, "You can knit a sweater by the fireside, Sunday mornings go for a ride" — he ought to be putting his feet up a bit, oughtn't he?
Not doing extortionate legal battle with an Other Half more than 20 years his junior.
I've often wondered what Linda — his wife of 30 years who died of breast and secondary liver cancer in April 1998 — would have thought of Heather.
She would probably be spitting blood. And I say this with modest authority, having got to know her rather well two decades ago.
I met her in the summer of 1987, in Great Ormond Street Hospital, at the opening of some facilities. Linda was a patron, hence her presence. I was covering the event for the Mail, hence mine.
In my eighth month of pregnancy with my first child, Mia, I was standing at the front of a throng of journalists when she arrived. Spotting my bump, she made a beeline for me and introduced herself.
Then, perceiving my anxiety among so many frail children, she announced: "You're coming with me." Hand in hand we walked the wards together, sharing the only sodden tissue we had left.
I felt honoured. Lady McCartney — she gained the title when Paul was knighted in 1997 — usually had no time for the Press.
She fiercely guarded the privacy of her family, always putting her husband and children first. She was the polar opposite of Heather Mills.
As we walked round the wards, she wanted to know all about my pregnancy, plans for the birth, other people's babies, did I know so-and-so, I really must meet this one or that one; she was the ultimate Earth Mother on overdrive.
Linda fascinated me. She had no reason to bother keeping in touch, and yet she did so. I was often invited to interview her at home and at her office, and we always enjoyed a laugh. She never forgot to ask me to launches and openings, welcoming me with open arms.
When her vegetarian cookbook, Home Cooking, was published, she sent me a copy, inscribed: "To Lesley-Ann and lovely Mia, stay veggie! Love Linda." The dots of all her "i's" were drawn as hearts. This was her trademark.
* (special note) On the autographs etc i got from Linda all the "i's" were indeed dotted with hearts. Greg.
A few years later, when Paul received his knighthood, she gave him a beautiful silver pocket watch inscribed in her own handwriting. There were hearts and kisses engraved all over that, too.
For a woman who'd had a privileged start in life — her New York upbringing had been distinctly upper-crust compared with Paul's humble beginnings in Liverpool — I sometimes wondered what had rendered her so ordinary.
She was as down-to-earth as a root vegetable (organic, of course). Not that she looked it. Although not conventionally glamorous, her face seeped a distant beauty and serenity, which somehow eluded the camera.
When I joined her in June 1991 for lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe in Piccadilly, her trim body and luminous skin were testament to clean living. Nothing about her suggested "rock wife" — no Spandex pants, peroxide hair, vertiginous heels. Heaven forbid.
In the floaty silk blue-and-green dress and low-heeled courts she'd worn to Great Ormond Street that first day we met, that plain preppy who'd married the world's most eligible batchelor looked anything but threatening.
Whenever I'd visited her at home, she'd worn chunky-knit sweaters, sometimes over a tired old cotton dress. She seemed to hang on to her clothes for ever.
When she went out, she was usually dressed in battered waistcoats and ancient jeans. If she wore leather cowboy boots — against her animal cruelty principles — they were "at least 100 years old and at least second hand".
I bumped into Linda again in California, in November 1989. I was staying in Los Angeles, at Raquel Welch's house.
Paul and Linda were at the Four Seasons Hotel, in the middle of the McCartney World Tour — his first concerts since the Manhattan murder of John Lennon in 1980, and his first shows in America for 13 years. You can imagine the buzz.
Our encounter took place in the Four Seasons lobby — I was there to meet an old Fleet Street pal, Geoff Baker, who was working for McCartney as tour publicist.
He would go on to become Paul's right-hand man for many years — before Heather had him ousted.
Linda was wearing tatty cut-offs and a stained white T-shirt. Her calves were unshaven, she did not wear any make-up and a shampoo seemed overdue. Among the designer Barbies in that swanky fivestar space, she looked delicious.
"How's baby Mia, why didn't you bring her, what are you doing for the rest of the day?" inquired Linda, smacking me a great big kiss.
To the last question, I admitted that I had nothing planned.
"Why don't you go up to the pool and hang out?" she suggested. "Spend the day, order anything you like — charge it to Paul. Here, this is the room number. Just put it all down to him." She took great delight in the gentle subterfuge.
There I was, on the pool terrace at one of the finest hotels in Hollywood, ordering champagne and all-day lunch on Paul McCartney's bill and calling my friends in England on the pre-mobile plug-in phone the pool attendant had fetched me, to regale them with tales of "guess what I'm doing and where I am!".
The fact that Linda — gutsy and relentless — took such pleasure from a little mischief, that she had such a cheeky side, could be deceptive.
She was the first to admit that she ruled the Macca roost, that she was the strong one, that Paul was often in awe of her, that she never held back when she felt he needed a good ticking-off.
That same year I remember sitting with Linda, her friend the writer Carla Lane, Carla's mother, Paul's brother Mike and photographer Terry O'Neill at rehearsals in Liverpool for Paul's debut classical work, The Liverpool Oratorio.
Linda reminisced about The Beatles' break-up. She revealed that she alone had nursed him through it, and through his falling-out with Lennon, which nearly caused him a nervous breakdown.
"I calmed him down after all the Beatles madness," she told me. "He used to thank me all the time for 'putting the sense back into his life'. He still does.
"All we really want now is to grow old together. We actually look forward to it. We'll stay in bed all day, eat dinner, make love."
Linda knew it was she who gave Paul confidence and repaired his selfesteem – though she didn't take any credit for that, it's just the way it was. She said she couldn't imagine him being with another woman, if anything happened to her.
She was matter-of-fact about this. She wasn't saying that Paul shouldn't marry again, but simply that she couldn't imagine him doing so.
She told me she'd got Paul to live a simple home life, get back to basics, respect family traditions like birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas, to settle on a proper set of values.
She had even taught him to bake. There was always a birthday cake around, and bread was his speciality. Yet she admitted that Paul usually got his way about "the big stuff".
I recall having a cuppa with Linda in a back room at Paul's MPL offices in Soho, dunking HobNob biscuits.
I was making wedding plans. Linda was delighted – she never liked the idea of me struggling as a single parent with a full-time job.
She had been there herself, with her eldest daughter Heather – who was six years old when Linda met Paul.
She told me that at her wedding in March 1969, Paul's fans had spat at her and called her names on the steps of Marylebone Register Office (where I got married myself), before breaking into his St John's Wood house and stealing her pictures.
Linda, a professional photographer, had shot them herself. But she hadn't let it rile her.
"I got used to all the slagging off years ago," she said.
"It doesn't bother me in the slightest. If they're crucifying me, they're leaving someone else alone, right? What's new? You become immune to it, you know?
"In the early days I was so blindly in love with Paul that I missed most of it anyway. Or else I just shrugged it off. I've always rubbed people up the wrong way.
"Even teachers when I was at school used to get on my case. I assumed it was my face – I always had this long, stern look."
"I still love Paul as dearly, of course, if not more than ever. We have never stopped fancying each other, not in all these years. Paul says that's the key to our marriage, that's what makes us tick. I hope so.
"I rather like the idea of being a sexy old lady! I'm older and wiser now, and my eyes are more open to the world.
"I can understand why stuff's been levelled against me down the years. But Paul and I and the people who count, we know what's what. That's more than good enough for me."
Once, in 1995, in her cluttered, homely kitchen in Sussex, among the heaps of baskets, bottles, colourful pottery and fragrant home-made loaves, we sat with huge cups of tea, discussing the possibility of me writing Linda's autobiography.
I wanted to call the book Mac The Wife. She seemed delighted by the title and said she'd talk it through with Paul.
At the time, I didn't realise – and I'm not sure she did either – that the cancer diagnosis was only months away. That was the last time I saw her.
It was a saddened Linda who called me two or three days later, to say that Paul didn't want her to do it. She never told me why and we never got round to discussing it again.
We vanished into our own busy schedules. I got married, had another baby, became pregnant with a third.
Linda, meanwhile, battled valiantly with cancer and travelled to and from New York for treatment, and to the McCartney ranch in Arizona, where she died. I hadn't seen her for about three years when she passed away on April 17, 1998.
Only years later, when I bumped into Geoff Baker after Paul and Heather had sacked him, did I discover why the book was rejected.
"It was Paul, bless him, being the control freak," Geoff revealed. "You know what he's like. There's too much going on in his head. He gets a bit confused sometimes, loses sight of what counts, you know?
I thought a lot about Linda on the fateful day Paul married Heather in Ireland, in June 2002. I'd run into Geoff about a week before, in the garden of some mutual friends in Henley-on-Thames.
Geoff, usually a cool character, was severely agitated. "It's a f*****g disaster, this wedding," he blurted.
"He shouldn't be doing it, but it's gone too far for him to get out of it. All anyone can do now is watch it fall apart."
Last year, when I read that Paul had started divorce proceedings, I thought of Linda. I wondered, with sadness, what she'd make of it all.
I remembered her smudgy smiles, the squiggly hearts she drew everywhere, her tideless kindness.
I thought about Paul, crying like a baby in Geoff Baker's arms after he lost her. Geoff once told me that Paul had cried every day for two years.
Paul adored "Lin" to the end of her life, with every fibre of his being. Of course he did. There wasn't ever going to be room for someone new.
After she died, I wrote to him to express my deep sorrow. He replied that it gave him great comfort to know that Linda and I had been friends.
The worst mistake he made was racing to replace her. It was an impossible task. Heather had noticed the chink in his armour and rushed into his broken heart. Then she broke it some more.
